Edgerton's Advance to a Girl.

A few days ago Civil Service Com
missioner Edgerton put a young lady
candidate through an examination that
she did not bargain for. The young
lady came into his office with face as
red as fullblown rose. But on close
examination, the CIVIL Service Com
missioner, who. although old in years,
is young in sight and heart, discovered
that the rosy hue was secured by paint
and powder. Mr.. Edgerton hates any,
thing unnatural or artificial, and he
looked at the young lady for awhile,
and asked her if she ever expected to
have husband. The young lady was
rather startled at the question, but re-
Piled, Certainly ~ Then" replied
Mr.. Edgerton, "if was young man
and calling to see you, would prefer to
see your face. Do you suppose man
is going to fight his way through the
powder and paste on your cheeks when
he wants TO kiss your face? No, miss;
the young man wants the true article,
not a mouthful OF paint and powder.
You have good complexion, good color
and skin; why do you plaster yourself
up with this stuff? Use soap ard water
and you will find the young men will
like you better. When was young the
girls were natural, and did not daub
their faces all over with this stuff"
Mr.. Edgerton could well say the
above, because his years allowed him to
speak, and after few minutes of
thought the young girl thanked the
Civil Service Commissioner for his adj
vice, and said hereafter she would use
only soap and water. She kept her
word, for she called on him day or two
later, and looked as fresh as a daisy,
without the trace Of paint or powder.

A Comedians Mistake.
FRO DE CONTINUED. |

A distinguished member of the pro-
fcssion told me the following story the
other day of brother comedian, Will
liam j. Florence: Florence, in his
younger days, was great speechmaker.
On the least prOvocation he would rush
before the curtain and hurl expressions
of gratitude and promises of a speedy
return at the backs Of the retreating
audience. One evening when he was
doing one night stands on the New
England circuit, a few injudicious aud
itorS were bold enough to applaud at
the fall of the curtain on the last act.
Florence darted from behind and bowed
to the audience.
Ladies and gentlemen" he said,
"or fellow-townsmen, rs may
call you, | thank you. Though
you may not be acquainted with the
fact, it was in this old town of New
Haven that lived as boy. Under
the shade of the college elms and by the
side of the old courthouse | spent the
happiest days of my life. see many
familiar faces before me tonight who
were boys with me then. l have met
with some appreciation in my life, but
nowhere is it more sweet and more dear
than in this my native town. To-day

At this point a gentlemen in front
whispered in very loud voice: Mr..
Florence, this isn't New Haven; its
Hartford. "-Philadelphia Press.

the concert was to be held, was build
| ing of great magnitude In her simple
eyes, that had seen no better. To sit
there amongst what seemed to her the
very grandest people in the land, to
listed to her fathers playing, to make
one of crowd-for she had never been
in crowd--was all source of marvel
to her. She thought of nothing for
days beforehand. She had no notion of
dress-this girl whose exquisite face
might have made her a queen--but the
simple black silk, the mantle of white
cashmere, and the bonnet of white lace
that held one white rose, made her roy
ally beautiful; she was quite uncon-
scious of ii herself she had not the
faintest idea of her own ideal loneliness.
She sat amongst the crowd, wonder
ing at the sea of faces, wondering. too,
with all her simple heart, why the peo-
pie all looked at her. Quite uncOns-
cious that such a face had never been
seen in Elmsthorpe before, she thought
that all this attention was paid to her
because she was the daughter Of a gen.
ius, of a true mus clan.
What kind world it was; how good
of these people to recognize her for her
fathers sake, even to admire her for 1t
how kind and generous. She did not
know that her refined and high-bred
face, with its exquisite beauty, shone
in that room as a bright star shines in
the sky.
There was great sensation amongst
the ladies of Hillshire. Who was this
lovely young girl who looked like some
rare plant, some delicate, dainty flower?
The daughter of Cyril Marine, the
genius, the musician whom they had all
looked upon with good-natured pity.
No one in Elmsthorpe and very few in
install knew that he had such beauti-
full daughter.
Lady Desford was captured with her.
She had no sons, no young brothers. 1t
was all very we'll for her--she could
please herself, said Mrs. Major White
who rejoiced in four stalwart sons, who
were known to be always on the lookout
for new and pretty faces. Mrs. Major
White shuddered when she thought If
what might happen.
Il have never seen face like that in
my life," said Lady Desford to her hus-
band; IL must know that girl and bring
her out"

CHAPTER ".
A IORDLY WOOER,

There was great excitement in the
pretty town of Inisfail-there was to be
grand concert given at Elmsthorpe,
and Cyril Marine was to play one of his
own compositions. 1t was called 1.-THE
Woodland Overture" and was one that
he loved best: for he had reproduced
these sounds that so few hear. Just as
he had heard them, he reproduced them
the ripple of the brook, the swaying
of the green boughs. the whispering of
the wind amongst the leaves, the songs
of the birds, the cooling of the wood
pigeon; and they were so delicately, so
daintily rendered, that if the listener
sat with closed eyes, he must imagine
that he was in the woods. 1t was a
triumph of art. How many days had
he sat absorbed in the music of the
woods, until it was so impressed upon
him that he had reproduced it almost
without effort.
The concert was under the distin-
guished patronage of the Lord Stair,
the great man of the county, of the Earl
and Countess of Desford, of Major
White, John Stuart, Esq, and Squire
Jordan. David Arson was general
manager, and il 80 emed to him the very
chance for making his friend known to
the world, for drawing attention to the
genius he thought unrivaled. He asked
Cyril Marine If he would assist at the
concert, and if he would play that beau
tiful, melodious, and intricate compost
ton.
Listening to it," said David Arson,
II can see the calm, golden sunshine
lying on the green grass, can hear the
birds sing, and the ripple of the leaves.
on will give the world lesson in true
music IL you will play that"
Cyril Marine consented.
The concert was given i'm aid of the
Hospital Fund, and was extensively
advertised. A great Soprano was COM
ing from London, and she was to sing
some beautiful ballads; but the great
feature of the evening was "The Wood
land Overturned, by Cyril Nairne."
"Papa," said Marguerite Marine, "may
l go to hear you play?" and the per-
picked genius, who would still consider
her as child. looked to his friend
David for counsel and advice under
somewhat extraordinary circum-
stances.
'Certainly, let her 90. What can be
more natural? She will enjoy 1t, am
sure"
1t was the first time that Marguerite
had attended any place Of amusement.
and her excitement was intese.
